Officers in Action

Recently, Officers C. Kirk, A. Cotter, and M. Oquendo, all assigned
to the Clear Lake Patrol Division, were dispatched to a disturbance call at
10600 Sabo Road. The citizen stated that she was being stalked and harassed by
her estranged husband. The suspect had broken the citizen’s window prior to
officers arriving. Officers completed a
report.

Later in the shift, the suspect returned and the citizen
called the police again. This time, officers had a description of the suspect
and his vehicle and saw him driving away when they arrived.

Officers followed the suspect and attempted to conduct a
traffic stop, but the suspect refused to pull over and a pursuit began. The
suspect evaded until running into a stop sign when he then fled on foot.
Officers quickly established a perimeter and were able to arrest the suspect without
further incident.

Officers discovered that the suspect had numerous prior
arrests included felonies. Officers discussed the facts of this case with the Harris
County District Attorney’s Officer and the suspect was charged with Felony Evading
Arrest and Felony Violation of a Protective Order. The suspect also had an
outstanding felony warrant for burglary of a habitation.

Due to this outstanding police work, a violent felony
suspect was taken off of the streets. Great job!
